Ballerina Bloom Tutorial ~ Using Webster's Pages Trims & Sparklers

Spring is here! And for me, one of my favourite things is the early Spring tulips we have planted around our home. A few years back we planted hundreds of tulips so that the girls can enjoy picking Spring blooms for our home, friends, family and teachers. I so enjoyed having my first crack at using the new "In Love" collection papers and embellishments from Webster's Pages. While they are just perfect for wedding photo's (and you WILL be seeing wedding photo's done with this collection come end of May.....my nephew is getting married!)...I do like this collection for other 'girly' type layouts! I thought I would also share a fun little tutorial on how to use the Websters Pages trims that come with this collection and make some handmade blooms.

I personally love blooms that have layers of color. So I took the pretty white fringe trim from the In Love trim kit and added a little pink tint to it with some ink. Here is a picture of the bloom I will be showing the steps to. Just follow the instructions in the windows to make your own! :)

You can of cours use a different ink for trim and a complementary color Sparkler for the center (the sparklers come in many colors) depending on what color bloom you want for your page.

NOTE: I get a lot of questions as to where to find Websters Pages products. The best way is to let your local scrapstore owner know that you are interested in getting these products in (Check out the Websters Pages Inspire Me site for information on getting these products to your local stores ...you can earn yourself free product if you get your local store to carry WP products) OR You can always order your product online directly from the Webster's Pages Website.....you'll notice that I try to link all the products I use on my WP pages to the website so that you can easily find the product you are looking for, just click on the product name :)

Thanks for popping in again! Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all have an amazing/creative weekend! xx

The page is gorgeous, and so is the flowers! I have been making my own flowers now for two days, so that when I need one they are ready! I'll have to add this technique to my flower making! Thank you! Love Penny

Gabi, you really need to design your own line!! Those blooms are just gorgeous! Brandin should add them to the WP collection! Call the Gabi's BLooms!!! I love the touch of pink, and you entire page is beautiful. I love your photos, you always have just magical photos, and those beautiful girls make it easy to have such gorgeous photos!!! They look like their Mom!!!

About Me

Hi everyone!
I'm a stay at home mom of two wonderful girls and am married to the love of my life Steve. I started scrapbooking in 2006 when my sister introduced me to it and haven't looked back since! I would say my style is ever changing but if I were to name a style I'd say its 'shabby-chic/vintage'. I've been published in Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Memory Makers Magazine and Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine, Scrap365 Magazine, Canadian Scrapbooker and Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine along with a number of online Magazines. I have been on a number of Designs teams in the past including Daisy D's, Zva Creative, The Color Room and am presently on the Design Team for Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages and Dusty Attic, Maja Design and Scrap365 Magazine. This is my place to share what I'm working on and some new techniques and products I love.
